Nik software HDR Efex Pro: Sample images from single raw image

HDR processing can be very useful also in situations when it is not possible to shoot multiple bracketed shots. HDR Efex pro provides some very useful presets to get started and I find results from the presets really useful.

Below I have some examples of processing done from single raw image shot by Canon 5d mk II, by using HDR Efex pro -software. Original images have also been processed in Lightroom.

I guess the main lesson here is that it is possible to make clear difference by using software like this, but if the result is improvement is anybody’s own verdict.
